[Verse 1]
Em C
Mother don't worry,
G
I killed the last snake
D
that lived in the creek bed
Em C
Mother don't worry,
G D
I've got some money I saved for the weekend
Em C G
Mother remember being so stern
D
with that girl who was with me?
Em C G
Mother remember the blink of an eye
D
when I breathed through your body?
[Chorus]
Em C G
So may the sunrise bring hope
D
where it once was forgotten
Em C
Sons are like birds,
G D
flying upwards over the mountain
[Verse 2]
Em C G
Mother I made it up from the bruise
D
of a floor of this prison
Em C G
Mother I lost it, all of the fear
D
of the Lord I was given
Em C G
Mother forget me now that the creek
D
drank the cradle you sang to
Em C
Mother forgive me,
G
I sold your car
D
for the shoes that I gave you
[Chorus]
Em C G
So may the sunrise bring hope
D
where it once was forgotten
Em C
Sons could be birds,
G D
taken broken up to the mountain
[Solo]
Em C G D x4
[Verse 3]
Em C
Mother don't worry,
G
I've got a coat and
D
some friends on the corner
Em C
Mother don't worry,
G
she's got a garden
D
we're planting together
Em C
Mother remember the night
G D
that the dog had her pups in the pantry?
Em C
Blood on the floor and the fleas
G D
on their paws and you cried
'til the morning
[Chorus]
Em C G
So may the sunrise bring hope
D
where it once was forgotten
Em C
Sons are like birds,
G D
flying always over the mountain
[Interlude]
Em C G D x4
[Outro]
Em C G D x8
